This is normal; we're up from last year. I've been tracking these stats
since we converted from in-person to online voting since our major concern
was making sure we didn't disenfranchise anyone while increasing the
number of eligible (and active) participants. It fluctuates a bit over
the years:
2024: 229/934: 24.5%
2023: 203/992: 20.5%
2022: 267/960: 27.8%
2021: 237/1012: 23.4%
2020: 235/955: 24.6%
2019: 174/?* (first online)
2018: 95/95 (last in person)
